The past two days have seen great changes in the hall at Springwood High School. Volunteers appeared from all around the district to help in setting up this years show. Following the delivery of the frames many people worked frantically to erect the structures for the hanging of the quilts.
This job isn't as easy as it looks.
Can do this single handed.
Vicki and Ann measuring for the tables.
Who said lunch wasn't important?
The ladies made the volunteers a gorgeous lunch of fresh sandwiches and coffee.
Things are looking up! It takes four people to hang those high ones.
There is a job for everyone here.
The hall looks empty until the day before the show when it fills with the most delightful quilts.
A few of Ann Langley's beautiful and colourful quilts on the stage.
Rabbits around even after Easter! You can find the most unexpected gifts at the show.
Steve and Graeme putting up the Bendigo Bank tents.

Group events, conferences and negotiated business bookings frequently account for over 50% of hotel room reservations. This course will prepare you to develop your own data-driven, systematic approach to group pricing.
You'll also learn how to anticipate displacement—specifically how a property estimates the number of future arrivals that will have to be turned away when at capacity. Predicting transient business (non-group, individual business travelers) amid negotiated bookings is also a component when considering the effects of displacement on customer satisfaction.
Forecasting displacements and setting parameters for negotiating price will help you determine the number of rooms to allocate to each customer segment. Another key metric is win rate—the probability that a group will accept the quoted price—and the trade-offs to be made around profit margins.

The Dolomites – spectacular colored peaks born from coral reefs on the bottom of the seas.
Sculpted by icebergs and polished by frost, the wonderful landscape of the Dolomites looks like a pile of buttresses, towers, walls and ramparts. The Dolomites are in fact a series of calcareous peaks, brightly colored, each one more spectacular than the other, separated by green valleys. They were all born as coral reefs from a sea not really deep and, around 65 million years ago they were brought to surface at the same time with the Alps rise in height.
The legend says that the Dolomites, got their pale rocky slopes when gnomes, willing to cheer up the Mean Princess, which was married to the Prince of the Mountains, dressed the mountains in a robe woven from moon light.
When he examined the rocks, in the year 80 of the 18th century, the French geologist Deodat de Dolomieu discovered that they contained small quantities of magnesium. Since then, this type of chalk was called dolomite, in the honor of the person that discovered it. I think it is pretty much clear where the name Dolomites comes from. During day time, slopes of the Dolomites have a white-grey color, but during sunset they are often baith in orange-pink colors.
In the winter season, rocky peaks majestic raise from beneath the white of the snow that covers the Dolomites. In spring, the landscape receives even more various tone: plains full of flowers spread on high altitudes and crevices shelter clusters of picturesque alpine plants, like saxifrage and edelweiss. Lower, singing birds nest in the woods, while in the valleys locals work on pastures and orchards. A network of paths stretches on lower slopes, while up, long routes cross the peaks, offering spectacular views to experimented hikers.
In the heart of the Dolomites, can be found Alpe di Siuzi, Catinaccio Mountain and Marmolada Peak, on which a iceberg rests. Crowned with an 100 meters stone pyramid and having its southern peak like a vertical slab of 600 meters high, Marmolada is a true queen of the Dolomites. Alpe di Siuzi Plateau is a fairytale realm, with grazes full of perfumed multicolored flowers edged by tall dolomite "spikes". The imposing walls of Mount Catinaccio, which turn red on sunset and sundown, abruptly raises in the place where the legend says that Lauren's, King of the Dwarves, rose garden flourished.
The Dolomites were under roman rule until the 14th century, when the Habsburg Empire conquered the area. It then returned to Italian rule at the end of the First World War.
South of Marmolada naked cliffs of the Pale Mountain guard the forests in the Paneveggio National Park, which once upon a time insured the Venetians with the necessary resources of wood to build their ships.
Isolated from other mountains but formed from the same dolomite rock, to the west you can see rising the peaks of Mount Brenta. They were conquered for the first time in the 19th century by some british climbers, including Francis Fox Tuckett.. Armed only with a ladder and a bat, he opened a path, through rocks that were waiting to fall and change their color to white, brown and gold. Arrived on the top he delighted himself with a piece of meat and a cup of red wine. Even to today, Brenta Cliffs are considered to be the toughest of the Dolomites.

Beverage Distributors Information
There are a lot of different things that a person needs to think about if they are considering opening a restaurant. A person needs to be organized and they need to know the business side of restaurant ownership. Even if they cook the most delicious food in the world, this will not help them to run a business successfully. Fortunately, there are a lot of different things out there that can help a person who is just starting a business in the restaurant industry to stay organized.
Get Help Staying Organized
The first thing that a person needs to do is educate themselves. They need to get a good understanding of what needs to happen in order for a restaurant to run successfully for many years into the future. They need to understand how to manage employees, how to purchase supplies, how to pay business taxes, and much more. They need to learn how to balance ordering supplies that are needed for the restaurant in order to not run out of certain things or to not purchase too many things and have them spoil. For example, a new restaurant owner will want to speak with beverage distributors who will regularly bring beverage items to their restaurant. They may have to increase or decrease their order depending on the amount of sales they make. A great way to do this is to use some kind of computer software or a program that will help them to keep track of this. Also, they want to keep in touch with these distributors in order to find out about new products they are offering. They want to give their customers them most variety possible. Staying organized is going to help a business owner to earn an income and feel proud of the work they have put into their restaurant.


text: Title says pretty much everything.. To summarize it up : I modded my Wii but didn't install Starfall at first. I deleted the Twilight Save from my system and started new savefile for Zelda Twilight ( I didn't know the savefile was needed for later ... ) .. Now I finally got 3.2E and Starfall installed, but all of this serves no point if I can't have the savefile. Thing is.. I don't want to delete my current save as I've really far in the game... Solution : I need to convert the savefile into NTSC from PAL, and then play the game off from a NTSC disc... Thus I can have two Zelda Savefiles on my system, and if my Wii semi-bricks, I can use the original Zelda ( PAL ) with it's save file to save my Wii.. Question : Is this even possible ? Or perhaps merging two savefiles ?. ( .. The Twilight Hack one and my current one.. ) [ I doubt ] Halp ;/

Tonight at 10 p.m. a week ago, that is February the 27th I enjoyed a conference call with nine women from around the globe. When I dialed in on Skype to enter the conference call the first voices I heard were of American expats artist/writer Rose Deniz, who as initiator of dialogue2010 would chair the meeting, and founder of expat+HAREM Anastasia Ashman, who hosted the conversation.
For me this conference call was a first, and a little unsettling in that you could hear people "enter" what in my imagination was the foyer of a home or studio, while I myself sat alone at my desk, staring at the document on the computer, that held my answers, correct that, my notes in response to questions Rose Deniz posted Online previous week.
Meanwhile one after the other announced her arrival at the virtual meeting place. Another American expat Tara Agacayak, and Irish Catherine Yiğit said hi from Turkey. Sezin Koehler dialed in from early morning Prague, Karen Armstrong Quartarone from Italy, Elmira Bayrash from New York, Joslyn Eikenberg from Idaho and Catherine Bayar whom I thought to be in Turkey at the time, announced that she and I were both in the same timezone, for she called in from Berkeley, California.
Rose made the introductions and made sure every one of us got a two-minute moment to say something about living in a foreign country. The first question we focused on was what we left behind in order to make the most of our hybrid lifestyle. Hearing all the comments, I pictured thoughts about the expat hybrid lifestyle forming an audible cloud, similar to the tag or label cloud you see in the sidebar of many blogs.
What I jotted down while listening, but forgot to say: The opportunity to see the children of friends and cousins grow up, being part of their developments, that's what I left behind and missed out on.
What (notion) did you have to leave behind in order to live your life abroad to the fullest?

8.1. Tariffs
Each Card issued will result in payment of a Membership fee. The relevant amount is available on the Resort's website.
Depending on the Ski Areas used, during the winter season, the Member may be invoiced the Ski Area tariffs under the following conditions, based on the public one-day adult tariff published on the websites of the resorts concerned:
-Courchevel Valley 1 day ski pass -10% (invoiced by S3V) if all the passages registered are within the Courchevel Valley.
- Méribel Valley 1 day ski pass -10% (invoiced by Méribel-Alpina or S3V if all the passages registered are within the Méribel Valley with a card issued by Méribel Alpina or S3V Mottaret only).
- Les Menuires-St Martin 1 day ski pass -20% (invoiced by the SEVABEL) if all the passages registered are within Les Menuires-Saint Martin de Belleville.
-Val Thorens-Orelle 1 day ski pass -15% (invoiced by SETAM or STOR) if all the passages registered are within Val Thorens-Orelle.
-3 Vallées 1 day ski pass -10% (invoiced by the Company Issuing the Card either S3V, Méribel-Alpina, SEVABEL, SETAM or STOR) if passages were registered in at least 2 Valleys or with at least 2 different ski companies that are members of the 3 Vallées Liberty Card Issuing Company.
Special reduction every Saturday throughout the season: -20% on the 3 Vallées one-day tariff.
These tariffs correspond to the public one-day adult tariffs displayed in the ski pass offices of the ski lift system or 3 Vallées Operating companies and to which the discounts will be applied. This is a single tariff regardless of the beneficiary's age, which cannot be combined with reduced rates and, in particular children, senior or family rates. These tariffs and discounts may be modified when the Subscription is renewed.
In addition to the aforementioned conditions, ski passes for the 9th day of skiing are free, following which a free 1-day pass will be offered every 6 days. The countable days cannot be carried over to another season.
The 3 Vallées Liberty Pass must comply with the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use of transport tickets of each resort.
Certain additional discounts (on Saturdays, for example), may also apply. For more information, visit the operating company websites.
The 3 Vallées Liberty day tariffs for the Ski area ski lifts are set by each of the Ski Lift operators and billed to the Member according to tariff conditions applicable on the date that the pass is used.
The Member is informed that when a Beneficiary passes through a turnstile providing access to a Ski Area's ski lifts, they will be billed a 3 Vallées Liberty day tariff, irrespective of the number of passages during that day.
The "3 Vallées Liberty" day tariff for the relevant Ski area is invoiced by the Operator of the ski area used, or, for all ski areas jointly operated, by the Company issuing the Card.
All prices are given per day, in euros, inclusive of taxes, and are established based on taxes applicable on the date of Membership and/or that the pass is used.
Any changes and/or variation in applicable taxes will be reflected in the tax-inclusive price for Membership and Ski Days used by Beneficiaries from the date of any such change.
8.2. Methods and means of payment
The Membership fee and any fees resulting from Ski Area use by Beneficiaries, are payable by bank card. During the subscription process, the Member will provide the details, i.e. card number, validity date and the security number, of the bank card to be used (transactions take place on a secure website). This payment order by bank card is given by the Member for all payments as part of their 3 Vallées Liberty subscription, both for its use and any additional Services. The information will be kept by the Issuing Company and/or Operators for future payments.
Debits will be made directly by each Operator, or via the online Paybox payment service.
The sums due are payable on the date indicated on the bill.
8.3. Invoicing and Member Account
The Issuing Company is responsible for invoicing and collecting Membership payments.
The Ski Operator of the Area where Ski Days are registered will invoice and collect payments directly, as per the conditions set out in Article 4.
The Member also recognises that invoices will be received by Operators other than the Issuing Company, depending on which Ski Area is used by the Beneficiary.
Each week, the Issuing Company and/or Operator(s) will establish the list of skiing days per Ski Area for that week used by Beneficiaries of the Member's account, on the ski area. The calculation of the number of days skied per week is based on the 3 Vallées Liberty tariff applicable for the Ski Area concerned, irrespective of the number of passages and whether the Beneficiary has skied on all or part of the Ski Area.
The number of days will be sent to each Beneficiary by e-mail, with details of the amount to be debited for each Membership.
To have the exact details of passages, the Member can log on to their online account using a username / password sent by the Issuing Company within a few days of becoming a 3 Vallées Liberty Member.
Based on the number of days skied each week the Issuing Company and/or the Operator(s) will invoice and debit the Member's bank card of the sums due for the week. The Member is considered as responsible for each of the Beneficiaries of their Member Account and, where appropriate, for any other sums due by the Member under the terms of their Membership.
The invoice cannot be considered as a final invoice for the Beneficiaries passages on the Ski Areas ski lifts during the relevant period. Any skiing days omitted from this invoice will be invoiced later, within the limit of the season in question.
The number of skiing days recorded by the Issuing Company's and/or Operator's computer system, which serves as a basis for the invoice, is deemed correct.
The invoice will indicate:
οthe price, with and without taxes
οthe date of the invoice and the date of payment
οthe ski area used by the Member Account's Beneficiaries
οany other Services used;
οany possible indemnities, penalties or costs incurred under articles 8.4, 11 and 12.
The Member authorises the Issuing Company and/or Operator(s) to send these bills electronically. The Member will receive, in each electronic letter (e-mail) a reminder of the link to their Member's Account where they may access the invoices which can then be printed or downloaded and saved.
The amount on the invoices will be debited from the Member's bank card on a weekly basis.
8.4. Non-payment
If the payment for an invoice is refused, the Issuing Company and/or Operator(s), where applicable, may reissue another invoice depending on the reason that initial payment was refused. In this case, the Member will receive a formal notice by e-mail or post for the sums due. Late payment charges, equal to the legal interest rate on the date of the invoice, will be applicable from the date that the invoice is unpaid. These penalties will be added to the initial amount of the invoice.
Any non-payment will automatically, and without notice, lead to the suspension of the Card(s) of the Account until the full amount of sums is paid.
In addition, if the Member does not pay the sums due within 15 days of formal notice, and has not informed the Issuing Company of any serious query relating to sums invoiced, the Membership(s) of the Member's Account will be cancelled without any further notice. Any skiing days not yet invoiced become immediately due.
Finally, the Member declares to be aware that the Issuing Company is expressly mandated by each Operator for the purposes of proceeding in their name and on their behalf, for the amicable or judicial recovery of their debts.
Any costs involved in the collection of sums due are payable by the Member.
The Card is non-reimbursable and non-exchangeable. The Card remains the exclusive property of the Issuing Company.
The Card gives the Beneficiary the right, during its validity period, to free and unlimited access to the 3 Vallées Ski lifts. The Beneficiary must carry the Card at all times when using the ski lifts, from the bottom of the lift to the top.
Access to the Ski Lift System is exclusively given on presentation of the Card at the turnstiles and depends on the respective opening hours of the ski lifts. If the Card is not presented at the turnstile, access to the ski lifts will be refused. In no case will the Operator and/or Issuing Company reimburse any purchases of ski passes by the Member and/or a Beneficiary resulting from the Card being forgotten, lost or stolen.
The card and its carrier may be checked by official inspectors to verify that the Card is being used for personal use only. Failure to respect the personal nature of the Card will result in it being immediately confiscated and the Membership terminated, without prejudice to any of the other provisions in the general conditions of using of operators' ski lifts in the event of violations noted by an official controller.
Should the postal address, e-mail address and/or bank card details change, the Member shall inform Customer Services within a maximum delay of 5 days following the change.
The change will take effect at the latest 8 days after Customer Services receive notification. The modification will be immediate if the modifications are made directly on the website or by phone.
The non-respect of the arrangements mentioned above, or the cancellation by the Member of the credit card payment authorisation, implies immediate cancellation of the Membership(s) of the Member's Account.
If the Card of a Beneficiary is lost or stolen, the Member or Beneficiary must inform Customer Services as soon as possible, either by phone or via the website.
In addition, the Member or Beneficiary can declare a loss or theft at one of the Issuing Company's and/or Operator(s)'s sales points. The Card will then be cancelled and no longer be valid for use.
For a new Card to be issued, the Member must apply to Customer Services.The Member hereby acknowledges that a processing fee of €10 will be charged to their account.
The Issuing Company and/or Operator(s) will send the new Card to the Member, by post within a maximum of 12 days. The new Card can also be given directly to the Beneficiary at one of the Issuing Company's and/or Operator(s)'s) 3 Vallées Liberty sales points, if the loss or theft was declared on-site.
If the Member recovers the Card that was declared lost or stolen, they must return it to the Issuing Company by registered post.
If the Card dysfunctions or has a technical problem, the Issuing Company will, as soon as possible and at their expense, replace the defective Card from the date the defective card is returned.
However, if, after verification, the Beneficiary is held responsible for the defective Card, the Issuing Company will invoice the Member an amount of €10 towards the cost of the replacement card.
The defective Card will be replaced by the Issuing Company who issued the initial Card.

Posted from Pambula Beach, New South Wales, Australia.
The park at Pambula is a great one. Plenty for the kids to do, especially over summer, as it's right on the beach. Unfortunately, today it isn't summer and it's frightfully cold and rainy. We've even had to unpack our winter woolies that have been travelling Australia on the roof of the car. The van heater even got a shock as it was asked to do something for the first time in about 3 months.
I'd planned on going for a morning walk either up Mt. Imlay or one of the many great parks around the area, but the weather soon put an end to that idea! I braved it long enough to grab a geocache or two, but my mind was sitting in a cozy pub around a nice hot fire …
The kids meanwhile were still floopily lying around in bed when I got back, as were several kangaroos … lying floopily under the back beds hiding from the rain.
Brekky was soon arranged and we all made a quick dash for the pool. It's indoor and heated for a start, but they've also got a spa … that was our plan anyway. Many other folk also had the same idea … Hannah's noisy clacker soon enabled us to have the spa all to ourselves for a little while at least.
Although breakfast wasn't far into the digestion phase we were already thinking of what was going to be for lunch. There's just not much else to ponder in a seaside town in the rain… We settled on a familiar favorite, the Tura Beach golf/bowls club. They had a special on Parma's for $10 each. None of us were really hungry and weren't expecting much from a $10 parms… Big mistake. Parma's were huge and filled us well and truly up.
Back to the van via a little drive around. We we're all a little shy of talking about the elephant in the room … which was of course … what are we doing tomorrow? The thing is we're within distance of home now. It'd be a big drive though. Yet we've still got 2 nights planned for on the road. Do we go home early or do we have one last try at camping somewhere and doing absolutely nothing for a day?
Out of all the things we've done on this trip, perhaps the most important thing remains unaccomplished. We've not had a single day where we just sit around and do nothing. We've tried and failed many times … but some activity always seems to have gotten in the way. I guess don't go on a holiday with us if you just want to laze by the pool for more than an hour at a time …
Yet the possibility still exists for us to go to Golden Beach. This is a free camp. There's no-one and nothing around. We'd have the place to ourselves … and do nothing … except walk on the beach and have a read of a book and a drink of a beer (or three). Then we'd have truly achieved everything we'd set out to do this trip (and then some).
All this thinking got us, inevitably, around to thinking about dinner. Kel booked the courtesy bus for Pambula Golf Club to pick us up and then we were there! Blake, not learning his lesson from lunch, ordered another Parma. Which was even bigger than the first one. A tantalizing home made one covered in ham and cheese. Fat boy polished it off with no trouble at all … and still had a share of dessert. The rest of us were happy with our meals too; Hannah and I had steaks and Kel had pasta.
It certainly was looking that way … not much point going to Golden Beach if its going to continue raining …

Exactly as the title suggests, The Quick and the Undead is a crossbreed between a George A. Romero zombie film, of which we have seen numerous remakes, imitators and knockoffs in recent years following the remake of Dawn of the Dead (2004), and a Spaghetti Western. The Romero connection is obvious, right down to shooting the zombies in the head as their only means of despatch. Gerald Nott gets right into the cod-Spaghetti Western poses happily borrowing directorial shots from Sergio Leone, substituting motorcycles in lieu of horses and with the hero smoking a cheroot and outfitted in a telescope crown hat just like Clint Eastwood. The great surprise about The Quick and the Undead is that Nott plays it surprisingly seriously and doesnt take the opportunity to send any of it up a la Shaun of the Dead (2004) or go completely gonzo a la other generic crosshatches such as Six-String Samurai (1998).
There is no particular ambition to the film beyond its melding of genres and no greater depth to it than what we see on the screen. Nevertheless, The Quick and the Undead achieves everything reasonably well. It moves with a fast pace. There is an enterprising level of low-budget gore notably a sequence where a zombie is carved up on a table. One would have liked to have seen more detail given to the background of the future the film sketches out for itself you could easily imagine The Quick and the Undead being expanded out into a series.
Director/writer/producer Gerald Nott and his star/co-writer/co-producer Clint Glenn subsequently went onto make the Backwoods Brutality film The Flesh Keeper (2007).

Every year Transparency International - the global coalition against corruption publishes Corruption Perception Index in countries around the world. Denmark and New Zealand top again with "very clean" scores over 90/100. The main reason of countries' success is strong inland corruption control.
Let's remind some basic facts about the index:
Source: Corruption Perceptions Index
The UN Convention against Corruption's implementation is powered by a Review Mechanism that has enabled the training of anti-corruption experts and helped countries revise their legislation. In 2017, the Seventh Session of the Conference of States Parties to the UN Convention against Corruption will be held in Vienna, Austria. Date of Event: 6-10 November 2017 Event Holder: United Nations Source of data: Corruption Perception Index, Worldwide Governance Indicators
With inclusiveness, implementation and investment at the centre of Turkey's G20 Presidency, the fight against corruption is instrumental to ensure all businesses, from SMEs to big MNEs, play their part in contributing to growth and investment, and can operate with clean hands in a safe environment. Jointly organised by the Turkish Presidency of the G20 and the OECD, this conference builds on the conclusions of the G20 and B20 discussions, implementing the G20 priority for closer co-operation between governments and the private sector.

Dor - "grey, north carolina"
Dor - grey, north carolina
The most recent album from North Carolina collaboration project Dor, grey, north carolina, is a pretty wonderful and haunting trip through ambient IDM music. Typically (but not all the time), ambient music that has a very dense and wonderful sound to it is ruined once it brings beats and drum machines into the picture. It just takes away more than it adds for me, I don't know. But Dor does a very good job at mixing in these subtle but powerful beats into their droning soundscapes. Every single track on grey manages to keep a heavy hand on atmosphere and makes you feel like you're being transported wherever Dor feels you need to be to fully experience their music. The duo has the ability to shift between quick and fast paced to very disorienting and calm in very quick bursts. After listening to the album several times, I can honestly say that it's an album worth experiencing. Dor's incredibly solid grasp on tone and mood through dense and shoegazy soundscapes mixed with overall powerful and creative musicianship is incredible, and it helps elevate grey, north carolina to a status of high achievement. Well done, Dor. Well done. I recommend you check this out as soon as possible.

I tried something like this I saw in a magazine a few years ago and recently after reading the ingredients of store bought vegetarian sausages, I thought I really ought to make my own again. They taste a lot better too! Don't be put off by the long list of ingredients, its mostly spice and flavourings, and everything can be pretty much thrown into your Blender or a food processor, all together. I like to grind as much of the spice as I can first. I also add some chipotle chillies which give them an even better smoky flavour, do try and get some. You can mix the spice up a bit as usual, add some chilli powder if you want it extra hot.
Once I make the mix, I shape the sausages and then cover and leave in the fridge for at least 6 hours. You get a better flavour this way, and they will be a bit firmer, but you can leave this part out if you're pushed for time. You could also make the sausage mix the day before and keep in the fridge overnight.
If you can't wrap them and boil them for some reason, you might like to try covering them in foil and baking them. I have never tried this method, but they will cook done like this.
Makes 8 large sausages
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds, soaked for 20 mins in 3 tablespoons water
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup dried apricots
- 3 medium dried chipotle chillies
- 1/2 white onion, roughly chopped
- 1 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup each of almonds, cashew nuts and walnuts
- 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup stoneground buckwheat flour
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup aqua faba ( chickpea brine )
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, I grind from a cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves, broken up well and ground
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- All the spices should be ground first, I do this in a mortar and pestle. If you don't have one, make sure you have the ground versions.
- You can make this in a food processor, by adding everything altogether and mixing until a dough is formed. Or I use my blender, adding the rice first and then the everything else apart from the flour and ground flaxseed. Mix on high for 1- 2 minutes, using the tamper tool, transfer to a bowl and mix in flour and ground seeds.
- You may need to add a bit more water, or a bit more flour until you get a nice dough which can be easily shaped with your hands. Expect it to be a bit sticky.
- Once well combined, shape these into about 8 large chorizo style sausages. It's easier to shape with wet hands.
- Refrigerate for 6 hours, if you have the time.
- Wrap them in cheese cloth, or muslin and tie with string.
- Boil them in about 1 litre of vegetable stock for 30 minutes.
- Cut the ends of the cheese cloth and unwrap your sausages.
- Leave to cool down.
- Fry them on all sides in a little coconut or olive oil.
- Slice and serve.

I'm still dealing with the Boy and the "incident." He doesn't grasp the idea of being grounded and I hate dealing with the bullshit. We had it out Saturday morning, which ended in tears and a major guilt trip. I'm having difficulties communicating with him and have less and less patience with his attitude. He lashes out and acts like a little shit. The results can be pretty nasty.
But, then there are Facebook tags from him to me . . . TuPac's "Dear Mama." While I'm not a TuPac fan, the sentiment of the song is great and I appreciate what my son is trying to say to me.
Which leads me to send him something to explain why I want him home, what he means to me, etc. . . I can't post it here because I don't know where to find the link (I need to work on this technology stuff).
Regardless, we are at a truce and I think he understands now, not only why I'm concerned, but that I'm doing everything I can to provide for him on my own and that everything I do, I do for him. Hopefully, we won't need another round of meltdowns and guilt trips.
Until next time, much love and peace.

Intterra is a great resource connecting us to real-time data, analytics, and maps. This technology allows us to instantly know what is happening in the region so we can make decisions faster than ever before.
Castle Rock, Colorado (PRWEB) February 05, 2016
Keeping Super Bowl 50 safe is what hundreds of first responders will be doing this weekend instead of watching the game. Helping them keep track of the vast amount of critical realtime data is a small tech start-up founded by an unlikely entrepreneur – a woman who was the top fire chief for California. Intterra, Inc., co-founded and led by CEO Kate Dargan, is a bootstrap success story right out of Silicon Valley… except it comes from the Silicon Mountains near Denver, CO.
Intterra will be providing Bay Area first responders with real-time analytics, apps, data, and maps to help local fire, medical, and law agencies understand the where, who, and what of Super Bowl safety. For the first time ever, in the heart of the world's tech capital, all the first responders in Silicon Valley can anticipate how and where to prioritize life-safety efforts throughout the Bay Area, track fire and medical support staff as they respond and prepare, and manage support to over 250 special events attended by football fans.
Ken Kehmna, Santa Clara County Fire Department's Fire Chief and Coordinator for the Operational Area Mutual Aid Plan, is focused on coordinating first responder resources to support Super Bowl 50 event activities. Chief Kehmna is no stranger to technology since his department responds to many high tech businesses in Silicon Valley. But using a company headquartered near Denver, CO to connect emergency responders to one another via tablets, smartphones, and computers seems fitting as the Denver Broncos come to California's tech capitol.
"Intterra is a great resource connecting us to real-time data, analytics, and maps. This technology allows us to instantly know what is happening in the region so we can make decisions faster than ever before," stated Chief Kehmna. "Intterra has worked diligently to get us ready for this event and we look forward to working with them for many years to come."
Kate Dargan spent 30 years as a firefighter and fire chief before being appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to California's top fire post of State Fire Marshal in 2007. It was a first for a woman and followed a career of firsts for her as a firefighter. After retiring, Chief Dargan knew there was a need for better data for firefighters, so in 2010 she co-founded Intterra, Inc. with two partners, David Blankinship and Brian Collins.
Intterra is a software company that provides leading-edge geospatial capabilities to emergency responders. Our core business is a comprehensive suite of technology apps on a platform of real-time data that creates maps, imagery, analytics, and shared data.

Fans of history and culture can't really go wrong with Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw. With a picturesque setting on the southern coast of the Llŷn Peninsula, the grade II listed house was built for Lady Elizabeth Love Jones-Parry of Madryn Estate in the mid-nineteenth century to house her art collection.
As well as a typical Gothic exterior, impressive Jacobean exterior and beamed ceilings, the house also features ten gallery spaces showcasing works from Welsh artists and hosts concerts, workshops, craft fairs and activities for the kids throughout the year. The exhibitions change throughout the year so there will always be something new to discover.
Once you've had your fill of the arts, you can relax and unwind with tea and scones in Plas Glyn y Weddw's award-winning tea rooms or pick up some unique jewellery and pieces for the home from the gift shop. Take your pick from cushions, pots, bowls, cups, beads, buttons and much more made by local crafters.
If the weather clears up there are also plenty of pretty woodland walks to be enjoyed in the surrounding area.
Ideal for both kids and adults, Plas Glyn y Weddw goes easy on the budget, too, as entry is free. (Parking is only free for 30 minutes, though, and you'll most definitely need longer to explore!)

Of Blogs and Boogeymen – Today in Iraq
Today in
Here's my view on the whole good news/bad news thing: When the time comes that I'm getting only good news about anything I'll start to feel like I'm living in some Soviet utopian nightmare. "But comrade", the local party boss will say, "a half a loaf of bread a day is a feast fit for a king!" as I look down at my bit of moldy bread and realize that once again I'm gonna go hungry so Uncle Joe can afford another car. Given a choice between bad news and good news, I'll take the bad news any day.
Yes, I know that good things are happening every day in
So, Today in
A key foundation of capitalism is the fact that you must be rooted in reality. If your business is producing goods of inferior quality or high price, the market will make your business go bankrupt. No goody-goody communist subsidizing of your business to make it look like your plan is really working. We're living in the real world! And if the basis of our capitalistic economy is to be rooted in reality, doesn't it make sense to be rooted in reality in other parts of our life? That is why I prefer to keep one foot in reality and look at a worst-case scenario. When the worst-case scenario starts looking ok, then I know (just as in business) that we've got something pretty good on our hands.
The breadth and depth of information necessary to understand a situation and comprehend all of the future possibilities empowers one to make decisions that effect what will really happen in the future. The essence of that power lies in information and deduction. Today in

P-strain erodes variety tolerance
P-strain erodes variety tolerance
TWO cases of the more aggressive P-strain of rhizomania have been identified in UK grown sugar beet raising questions about whether current tolerant varieties will be able to cope with the presence of the disease.
DEFRA screening of roots taken from new rhizomania outbreaks revealed two out of 68 sites identified last autumn to have the P-strain, previously unknown in the UK.
"It was picked up at two sites near Norwich, about 10 miles apart," says IACR-Brooms Barn plant pathologist Mike Asher.
"This strain is more aggressive and pathogenic. It decreases yield and increases virus content a little more than the normal strains of the disease."
Outside of the UK the P-strain has only been identified in Japan, China, Kazakhstan and around Pithiviers in the Loire region of France, after which the strain is named.
Yields of varieties tolerant to the more common A and B strains of rhizomania, such as those listed in the UK could be slashed by the P-strain.
"Tolerance seems to have been significantly eroded," acknowledges Dr Asher. "The key question is how badly."
Another resistance line being developed by breeders seems able to cope with the P-strain of virus but only one such variety is available so far in Europe and it is not suitable for UK conditions, he says.
The existence of the new strain in the UK was announced to an industry meeting of British Sugar, NFU and key growers in October by DEFRA plant health officials.
DEFRA maintains its decision not to defend the UKs rhizomania free zone status had already been made and this new strain of disease had little bearing on that. *
• More aggressive than common A and B strains.
• Two outbreaks near Norwich.
• Only identified in UK and France within EU.
• Overcomes current variety tolerances.
